"It is delightful to know such a woman existed in Tokugawa Japan. Here is a poet-painter who was able to consort on an equal footing with the male scholars and poets of her day. Her poetic voice is refreshingly direct and honest." — Sonja Arntzen, translator of Ikkyu and The Crazy Cloud Anthology: A Zen Poet of Medieval Japan
